hey, i just installed a short ram air intake to a 97 RS. there's louder noise from the intake under the hood. - that's fine.

i want to add a breather or two... is this beneficial in any way?

the intake tube only has one attachment opening... so i connected the hose back to the motor.

can you insert a breather in between the air intake and the motor?

why? / why not?

 

Well you can, but if a cop want you to pop your hood, and if he want to be a dick, he can give you a $110 ticket for each one, as it makes you engine a open system. No it is not bebeficial to add them, it will not change a thing.

 

Police cannot look under your hood unless they are a licened mechanic. So if one asks you to pop the hood ask for the lincence, get them to physically show you it.

 

never knew that ... good thing to know

 

that is a very nice thing to say but it could go both ways. i live in york region and there is just so many cops that are middle 20s and the a just the bigges dicks . when i just got my car my with Temp licence were expired for 12 hours so the duffus pulls me over and said that when i got my Temp stiker expired i didnt register it with a safety so he was gonna call some inspector to chek if my car fit to drive on the road and he started to walk around the car and ---- cheeking my tires but no inspector came and i had insurance policy # but no slip. so total of 5 tickets !!

Driving over 10km
expired temp stiker
improper tires
improper exhaust
no insurance slip

 

wtf kind of charges are those? thats bullshit

 

You got screwed when I got my insurance number the company even told me as long as I have the policy number I will be fine, but I got my plates the second after I got a policy number you could fight that if you want.

 

This is going off topic we should stop talking about cops.

 

Yes they can, and you cant do nothing about it, i had that ---- happen to me last year, and I deal with cops at my shop every week, so i am always asking ----. They can, and they will, all they need to say is they have possible cause.


Back on topic now.

 

thanks a lot, gents!

i just checked this post... after posting another with same thing. except, now i have the breather installed.

i didn't know breathers were illegal.

so, how does it make my motor an open system, Spike? how do they work and how do they work incombination with the intakes?

 

It's because it makes you crankcase open to the air, and you can not have it like that. I had my car taken off the road because of a ------- cop, all because my BOV did not Best recirculate back into the intake, it went just to air.

 

any links on how this thing works?
